Summary
Les Brown’s book is a short practical manual from the 1970s “pyramid power” wave: Cheops-proportional frames and greenhouses, food growth and preservation claims, magnetic / cosmic / radio speculation, and DIY build tables. The 2005 facsimile adds eco-home rhetoric and editorial material (Faraday cage base, electrosmog, construction shortcuts).
Not established: Population/36× yield claims, ET/Atlantis dating, and preservation anecdotes are folk experiment tier—use as cultural and bibliographic context, not peer-reviewed agronomy or physics.
Relation to paradigm-threat-timeline
| Theme | In Brown | Timeline use |
| Pyramids as engineered shells | Cheops ratio as active shape; “computer/receiver” language | Rhymes with Pyramids: Myths vs Reality; mechanism is pop energy talk, not demonstrated Birkeland math. |
| Habitability / food continuity | Pyramid greenhouse, roof farming, oxygen, enclosed biospace | Same continuity-of-life story shape as Kerrell & Goggin — farm-scale rather than Brunton tomb arguments. |
| Grounding / shielding | Editor: Faraday cage foundation, ground | Word-level overlap with Faraday / cathodic language on the site; not proof of Dark Ages plasma grounding. |
| Chronology | ET builders, Atlantis, editor ~10,500 years | Contrasts with Fomenko / BCE Dark Ages if taken literally; cite as 1970s–2005 popular layer only. |
Author appendix: Les Brown (The Pyramid).
Status: Open. Mapped from the 2005 PDF; a clean 1978 print scan can be added for bibliographic comparison.
